Two ranges set up for practicing ground attack skills as featured in the Basic Surface Attack series on YouTube

GREG Random Air Battles (version b)

Supporting the F-14, F-15, F-16, F/A-18, Mig-29A/G/S, Su-27, Su-33, J-11, JF-17, Viggen, Mirage, F-5, and Mig-21.

Want to practice air to air combat but can't decide which plane to fly?
Greg will decide for you.

Are you sick of shuffling the planes around in your tired, old "practice3.miz" file to feel some freshness?
Greg will handle the planes and where they are, you just worry about flying.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Open this mission in the mission editor and delete the aircraft you don't own.
2) Start the mission and select the "RANDOM" Su-25t role on the RED side.

Within seconds, you will be flying a random aircraft in a random battle.
Greg will spawn all units, INCLUDING YOU, at random speeds and altitudes, after the mission has loaded.

You can easily flip between flying random aircraft to flying your favorite again and again against random targets to really hone your skills.

You start behind a kc 135 with 35% fuel with no turns, happy refueling.<br />
req Persian Gulf map i will make one for Caucasus.

Your Commander wants you to improve your formation flying and perfect your landing approaches.
This mission has several formation flying patterns where you will try to follow the group in front of you and key landing approaches to practice.
There are standard voice commands to tell you when to turn and how much. Try and join the given formations at a reasonable distance (2-10 rotor discs).
There are no points or penalties this mission is intended to keep practicing these various patterns over and over until they are perfect.

A basic mission starting cold at Nellis, with an active airfield running the course of the mission. Nothing spectacular, but it gives a more realistic airfield feel as opposed to an empty airfield with just you taking off for practice.

I have created a training mission to practice a teardrop landing approach as documented in the Flight Manual for the BS3 (which you can download here at DCS).  In this mission you aim to fly through the gates at 90° to the wind (122°) blowing from the direction of Dubai International Airport.  You have the wind on your right. As you approach you try to maintain that 90° direction (Heading 32°) to fly over the helipad. Once there you turn left at a 60° angle so end up heading at an angle of 30° off the downwind direction (332°). You follow this for around 2km and then start turning in towards your final approach direction of 122°. Lower your gear and start lowering your speed but dont exceed a VSI of 2-5. Try to land gently on or near the helipad.

Have fun practicing and post a comment if you want me to create more such lessons. I will probably do one landing on a helipad on top of a building next.

Well versed sandbox missions for fixed and rotary wing air to air and air to ground practice!
